Fractured

Chapter 65: Too Far Gone

Waters streamed down her face. Waters that she did not produce by choice, waters that were not produced by the heat of her attacker but by the cold of her sadness. Her chest sunk to the bottom of her ocean as she felt as if something had been ripped from her. Which it did. She had lost two parts of herself. She had lost family. Despite not being with them, not witnessing their deaths first hand she knew what had occurred. Only two of them remained and due to her situation it seemed that she would join them.

"Aria, Adan there gone."

Mira struggles to believe the words she said within her mind but she knew them to be true. She could feel it and she couldn't escape it. Just like it seemed she could not escape her. Fume.

The wall of ice that protected her from her fore shattered as the steaming Telik that was Fume blasted her way through. "This isn't over!"

Mira was quickly bought back to reality as she saw Fume charging right at her. She tried to shoot a wave of water at her but instantly turned to steam for Fume to control. "Thought you would have learned by now that isn't going to work on me!"

Another blast of steam propelled Fume forward sending her fist into Mira's stomach causing her to gasp for air. Air she would not obtain. Fine quickly hit her with a combo of steam powered attacks. Attacks that Mira was hopeless to defend against, any attempt to summon any water would be turned to steam only making Fume stronger. Not even having the chance to turn it into ice first in which Fine would simply blow apart.

She had met her counter.

As she took the punches she thought about Aria and Adan their smiling faces from the good times they had seared into her mind. She wondered if they got taken out for the same reason. Hard countered by a foe they never expected to meet. As if a coin toss of fate brought everything to an end for their family.

Fume's combo stopped as the blood and beaten Mira was as barely standing from the injuries she had endured.

"Let's get this shit over with." Fume placed her hand on Mira's chest as steam began to form around it and compress readying to finish it all with one last attack.

"I guess I'll join you two soon." Mira thought to her self as she closed her eyes and accepted her fate.

She felt an intense heat in front of her but to her surprise she was still standing. Her eyes opened up slowly to see Ignis kicking up Fume's attack with his blue electric flames.
In another swift movement he pulled his foot down turning and with another electric burst of fire sent Fume flying off into the distance.

Ignis turned extended his hand for the only other survivor of the elemental four. "I've already lost too much, not loosing you too."

"You're right, thank you." Mira took his hand enabling her to get better footing.

The two turned their heads as a white flash and rumble was felt beneath their feet and across the entire battlefield catching everyone's attention. It all came from their direction.

"Basira." The two said in unison as they looked at each other and new exactly what they had to do. The two rushed together in the direction of one of the last members of their family.

            ~~~~~
"What was that?" The same white flash and rumble set Rachel and Leora on alert.

"Agnello." Leora said as she knew that Agnello was in that general area.

"Who?" Rachel asked.

"Somone very close to me. I have to go help them." Leora prepared for rush to them but Rachel grabbed her arm.
